Go find the boy and then tell his parents. Then let their parents tell your parents. That way they channel some of that anger towards a different direction before they figure out how to deal with you. This is the scenario after you tell his parents-
Your Parents: Hello?
His Parents: Hi, this is Mr. Boseman- Eddie's Father. I understand that my son and your daughter have a child on the way...
Your Parents: What the %$&*!!!! How did you let that sorry deadbeat kid of yours get my sweet innocent little girl knocked up!
His Parents: Now now there Mr. Edwards.. I am sure we can find a way to work this out. We are as upset about it as you are..
Your Parents: The %$#@ you are! I am on my way over there to kick your @$$!!!
So now you have some time to stall while they take all of this in. Their focus will be on the boy during the initial blowup and by the time they talk to you, they will have already calmed down.

Check it out with a test, then tell them. My girlfriend had that problem when she was young. She wanted to keep the baby and her father agreed with that decision, but her mother wanted her to have an abortion and didn't really talk to her again until she had the birth. It worked out in the long run, even when she didn't get married. It's better than being with the wrong man, and better to not lose the baby on purpose and regret it later. (I can't imagine how that must haunt the lives of some women).

Just tell them that you are not sure but you might be pregnant. Believe me not telling them is the worst thing to do. You have to tell them that you are sorry and you don't know what to do. Your parents love you no matter how much or how many time you screw up. So just tell them they will be mad at least your telling them. Good LUCk

Go to the health dept and have a test done . If you really are preggos then sit them down and tell them. It will be hard and there will be yelling, crying, and hugging. Just do not tell them until you are sure. That will be alot of emotional crap for a false alarm. You will actually be surprised. It is never as bad as your imagination is telling you it will be.

Before you say anything to your parents you might want to take a pregnancy test first. Just to be sure. Just sit down with them when you find out for sure if you are and tell them. They will probally be upset and might even yell , but when they calm down I think that they will support you and be there for you. Good luck !

Good Luck...I was pregnant at 19 and me and my mom had a great relationship and I was FREAKED out to tell her!! But once she found out she reacted suprisingly well....she said she would support whatever I wanted to do (abortion, adoption, or keep it) I kept him and she helped all through the pregnancy and was at the birth!!
You might be suprised as to how well parents take things! They might get upset at first, but if they love you they will come around and support whatever decision you make!

FIND OUT FOR SURE FIRST. There's no point in stirring up all that drama without a solid reason for it! If you are pregnant, then approach them calmly and tell them you understand they'll be upset and disappointed but you really need their support. They'll probably be angry, but eventually they will come around.

You just have to do it. You can't sugar coat it or wait for the perfect time. You have a lot of things to worry about right now.
What you need to do is have some answers to the questions they WILL ask.
Are you going to keep it?
Who/where is the father?
How are you going to support a baby.
Will you finish school?
Saying "I don't know" will just make the conversation worse.

You should get a pregnancy test and let your parents know that you are growing up, tell them you have grownup things on your mind and need to see a birth control doctor. So that you don't have a baby.
